== The Gods of Order ==

===Nurgle===
Papa Nurgle is the god of compassion; he cares for all creatures, no matter how small. He is still a god of sickness and disease, but he chooses to cure, rather than inflict. Nurgle is a lord of stability, even among the other lords of Order. If he has a weakness, it is that he is unchanged and forever unchanging. He helps to build civilizations, and is a bringer of law, order, and stability. However, he is not adaptive, and some find his embrace stifling. He is not necessarily a good guy; his followers sometimes are highly oppressive.

===Khorne=== 
He is the noble lord of war. He is still a war god, but a god of honorable combat. He sits upon the Throne of Relics, a throne made of captured artifacts from challengers against him, awaiting war. Khorne favors the strong above all else, and blesses those who are already mighty warriors. He does not, however, have much compassion for the weak, and does not believe in helping those who cannot help themselves. He has little mercy for those he sees as beneath his notice, but those who impress him can gain great power, and perhaps a powerful relic, taken from his throne. 

===Tzeentch=== 
This god is the most changing and adaptive of the Lords of Order, and is a god of powerful warp sorcery and knowledge. His ways are often dangerous, with a "leap before you look" sort of mentality. He is known for his cunning plans and endless schemes. Because he is the most chaotic of the lords of Order, however, he is also one of the weakest. It is his cunning plans that keep him in power.

===Slaanesh===
And finally, the god(dess) of love, created by the Eldar to assist them with their ascendancy to the warp. This does not mean he/she is all pink hearts and kindness, however. Slaanesh is the lord of excess, of passion, and volatile emotion. People fall in and out of favor with Slaanesh on mere whims, and those who get his/her attentions and refuse them do not end well. Like Aphrodite, Slaanesh is not kind to those who stand in his/her way. Slaanesh is vain, ill tempered, and very easily offended. When thinking of Slaanesh, remember the story of Eros and Psyche. Love does not mean good or nice.
